Authors Notes: Yes, I know shortest chapter ever, but the problem was that I was teetering back and forth on two different plot ideas. After I finally figured out a good way to do the plot I was getting impatient as my sisters keep shoving me off the computer, Grrrrr.

BFoS: Am I really that good? Wow, your comment made my day. And if it's action you like, then don't worry, I have a lot more to go, and that includes action scenes.

Thanks again to kathlaida-princess for letting me use one of her characters. Which one, I shall not say, it would give away the surprise

Chapter 21

I woke up in on the ground. I felt the grass beneath me, along with a flow of relief.

'Hey, Nick'. Dallin was siting right beside me.

'Dallin... ugh, wait so I'm not drowning'? Dallin gave out a little chuckle.

'Nope. You're alive. You should of seen yourself, you were flying faster than anything I'd ever seen'.

'Right, but why am I here and not in the ocean'?

'Lugia swooped down and saved you at the last second. It was amazing'.

'Wow, I'll have to thank him for that... if I ever see him again'.

'Actually you could just do that now'.

'What'. I sat up to find Lugia's head right in front of me.

"WHOA", I jumped to my feet and almost had a heart attack. My muscles were aching and bruising from the fight we had. "Please don't do that again".

"'Hmm, I had a feeling you'd do that'", Lugia's voice echoed in my head. No voice ever echoed in my head when I heard a pokemon's thoughts.

'Um, Lugia you don't need to use your telepathic powers on me, I can hear your thoughts anyway'.

'Really', his voice stopped echoing, 'You can talk to pokemon'? I gave Lugia a quizzical look, from what I knew it seemed like all the pokemon knew who I was.

'Nick'? Lugia said after the pause.

'What, oh, ya, I can talk to pokemon. Wait how did you know my name'?

'Dallin told me'. I looked at Dallin, who had seemed perfectly fine talking that could crush him in one footstep.

'Right. So, what is it you stayed to tell me'.

'Oh, right. I stayed here, firstly to thank you', I was flattered Thanks for freeing me of the chip. I would have caused more destruction than I could of fixed if you didn't release me from the chip. Secondly, I stayed to tell you this. Thanks to this deed that you have done, I know officially owe you a favor'.

'What'?

'You put yourself in danger to save not only me but what I could of damaged in the duration of the chips wrath. The least I could do is to help you in return'.

'No-way, that's awesome. But how will you know when I need help'?

'Oh, trust me, I have my ways'. Lugia turned towards the cliff and readied himself to jump into flight, his footsteps shaking the ground.

'Right, thank you Lugia'.

'No, I should be the one to thank you. Goodbye'.

'Goodbye'. While Lugia was readying his wings, I pressed the communicator on the data-brace.Lugia jumped from the edge of the cliff and dived into the ocean. I was still in shock, Lugia owed me a favor I was going to see him again. I had a feeling that the next time we'd meet, we would make a good team but for now I'd have to wait. I hit the communicator on the data-brace.

"Karen, take us out of here".

"Alright", the portal appeared and Dallin, and I walked in. Back in her office, Karen was drinking some coffee, and staring out the window in the back of the ring.

"So how did it go".

"It wasn't a wailord".

"What- WHOA". She jumped back in surprise. I looked at myself to find that I was bruised all over. "Nick, what happened"?

"It was a lot more than a wailord".

"What was it"?

"Lugia". Karen dropped her mug which shattered on the ground, causing coffee to spill all over the place, but Karen didn't seem to care.

"LUGIA!? Where did you find him? Is he still there"?

"I found him at the place you teleported me to, and he left". I was slightly weirded out by Karen's behavior, maybe she'd never seen a Lugia and she wanted to find one, but even then she was acting weird.

"Is something going on, Karen"?

She sighed, "It's a very long story... and it involves Lugia, or a lugia I should say".

"There's more than one"?

"As I said, it's a long story".
